Mansfield vs Forest Green Prediction & Betting Tips (9 April)

Mansfield may have been denied a fourth successive League Two title last term, but a run of six home wins on the bounce suggests that they may well be the team to beat again this time around. Forest Green can only dream of such impressive form on the road, with their previous five games resulting in no points and 13 goals conceded.

Forest Green have been in incredible form recently, collecting some points from a possible 27, and it is noticeable that all nine of their matches during this period have served up three goals or fewer. The same is true of each of the most recent nine Mansfield home games at this level, so it would come as a major surprise were this key battle not to serve up under 3.5 goals.

When Forest Green come calling, excitement doesn’t tend to follow, with six of their previous seven away games at the top table of the League Two seeing at least one of the two goalkeepers emerge with a clean sheet. What’s more, eight of the last nine Mansfield home matches at this level, including six in a row recently, have followed the same pattern.
